By Domaine Coche-Dury

2001 Meursault Perrieres from Domaine Coche-Dury, Burgundy, France

The exquisite 2001 Meursault Perrieres from Domaine Coche-Dury stands as a paramount example of Burgundy's terroir-driven grandeur. With my tasting notes spanning four decades, the millennium vintages hold a special place in my analyses, and this particular gem of Meursault has piqued my interest upon each revisitation.

 

A Vintage of Poise and Precision

Meursault's marl and limestone-laden soils, particularly in the esteemed Perrières vineyard of Domaine Coche-Dury, nurtured the Chardonnay grapes throughout what was a challenging but ultimately rewarding vintage. The climatic consistency of 2001 chiselled out Chardonnay whites that capture the tension between ripe fruit opulence and racy minerality—a balancing act flawlessly executed in this bottle.

 

Timeless Elegance, Investment-Worthy Evolution

The alchemy of time has blessed the 2001 Meursault Perrieres with an ensemble of richly woven aromatics: hints of toasted hazelnuts, ripe orchard fruit, and a whispered caress of vanilla from expertly judged oak usage. With each year that passes, the palate reveals further realms of complexity; a firm, well-integrated acidity supports layers of beeswax and honeysuckle, underpinned by a stony mineral core reminiscing of its esteemed terroir.

Esteemed wine investors will recognise the longevity and cellar potential these storied bottles carry. As this wine continues its graceful arc through maturity, it beckons connoisseurs and collectors alike to partake in its unfolding narrative—a narrative worth splendouring in for years to come.

In summary, the 2001 Meursault Perrieres from Domaine Coche-Dury merits high praise—not merely as a beverage to savour but as an investment to cherish. Its embodiment of the fabled balance of 2001 Burgundy Chardonnays propels it into the upper echelons of fine wine collections, holding the promise for continued evolution and sophisticated drinking experiences for those discerning enough to appreciate its finesse.
